That means no food, no light. You pretty much have to be a vampire or be really lucky and find phial early if you want to win. And nightmare mode as a mindcrafter? The first few levels must have been near impossible to get through...

As for food, i always seem to find plenty of food on the levels. I havent played TK in about 18 months, since i switched over to ToME, so I cant quite remember all what i did in this character. And im not sure what "quest scumming" is.

I went into the wilderness, and to a mountainous region, and soundballed a bunch of 'd's to up levels. TK is different from regular Zangband in having multiple towns, that have their own quests, and LOTS of wilderness screens(forest, sea, mountain). When i reached a high enough level, i went to the sea area and nailed Lesser and Greater Kraken/Leviathans for the XP.
